After donning the disguise of repairmen, the two succeed in hacking the monitoring system, but must fight their way out of the station and back to the Saints Hideout. Once there, The Protagonist has the 3rd Street Saints set up the camera system and tells their gang they want someone watching it until The General is located.[2]

The following text has been transcribed verbatim from the game files.It can be read in-game upon completion of the mission by selecting the mission at a Newspaper Clipboard.

Members of the Third Street Saints disguised as camera repairmen infiltrated the police station today, but were chased off the premises before any real damage was done officials say. The Saints managed to make their way to the security room before the station was put on full alert. After a brief firefight, the Saints retreated. Casualties are said to be low. Exactly what the Saints were interested in has yet to be determined.

Shaundi must be defended against a few waves of police officers. Unfortunately, Shaundi takes a long time to hack into the system, and there is not a constant stream of police, so there is a lot of waiting. A SWAT unit arrives on the heliport after a while and attack from behind if the roof door is open; they are just as easily killed, however.

Escort Shaundi out of the police station

Shaundi mentions that there is a helicopter on the roof, but it is not a mission requirement to use it.

Get the equipment back to the hideout

After exiting the police station, the real challenge of this mission begins: reaching the Saints Hideout with four units of police Notoriety and a Tornado chasing closely behind.

The final checkpoint in the mission is just before Shaundi began the hack - there is no checkpoint when she finishes. Shaundi recommends taking the helicopter: doing it is difficult in the patched version of the game, as Tornados fire rockets, and the Oppressor is very weak to rockets and has no way of defending itself; if and when the Tornado fires a rocket, it can destroy the Oppressor very quickly.

In un-patched versions of the game, the Tornado cannot fire its rockets, making for a much easier experience.

Destroying the Tornado before getting into the Oppressor is a risky strategy. It takes a lot of damage, and another Tornado eventually spawns, so it is important to reach the Saints Hideout quickly after the Tornado has been destroyed. A McManus 2015 can shoot off the Tornado's rocket launchers to prevent them being used.

Another strategy is to ignore Shaundi and pay attention to the marker on the map instead. Go downstairs and exit the building, and grab a FBI or Bear instead. Quickly follow the GPS route towards the Saints Hideout but, on the way, be sure to use the Forgive and Forget confessional located on the left of the road. With luck and patience, this mission may prove no harder than any other.

Success

The mission is successfully completed by landing on the Saints Hideout helipad, or entering the marker outside the Saints Hideout.

The repairman uniforms The Protagonist and Shaundi wear are purple, the color that represents the Row, even while undercover.

Checking the wiretaps on the third floor during "Assault on Precinct 31", gives four units of Notoriety, but the police do not pursue Shaundi.

It is possible to keep both the NRG V8 Repair van and Repair outfit, either the first time through the mission, or during a replay.

To keep the Repair outfit, use the countdown method to exit the mission without a fail screen, then save reload before saving the outfit in the Wardrobe. This is the same method used to keep the Fuzz and Crowd Control outfits.

To keep the Repair van, be inside the vehicle when using any glitch to exit the replay.

This mission is one of three gang-arc missions in Saints Row 2 which do not unlock a neighborhood. The others are "Veteran Child" and "Waste Not Want Not". This may be due to this mission taking place in Ultor territory.

The headline "Chief Bradshaw learns the meaning of 'irony'" is a reference to how he, as an undercover cop, infiltrated the Saints, and now, ironically, the Saints have infiltrated a police station.

Four SWAT team members appear at the helipad since the start of the mission and can be killed before or after hijacking a repair van.

Shaundi: "You gonna stand there, or you gonna work out?"The Protagonist: "I get enough cardio running from the cops."Shaundi: "Suit yourself."The Protagonist: "I'm surprised you can run 5 minutes without coughing up a lung, let alone 5 miles."Shaundi: "I'm full of surprises."The Protagonist: "Then surprise me and tell me how we're gonna take out The General...."Shaundi: "Well, that creep's always riding around in that limo of his, right?"The Protagonist: "Yeah..."Shaundi: "So I figure the easiest way to find him is to go and tap into the traffic cameras at the police station."The Protagonist: "I don't know if "easiest" would be the word I'd use."Shaundi: "Alright so it's not the easiest way but it's the quickest...besides now I get to tag along."The Protagonist: "Are you high? Or do you not remember the part where I told you that I wasn't gonna babysit you?"Shaundi: "OK, so you're gonna hack into the traffic cameras then?"Shaundi: "Yeah, that's what I thought...let's go boss."

+The Protagonist (Female Voice 2): "We can talk about fashion later, you sure tapping the cameras is all we need to do?"

-The Protagonist (Male Voice 1): "So once you tap into these computers you'll be able to find The General?"The Protagonist (Male Voice 2): "You sure tappin' the cameras is gonna work? I don't think they're gonna let us sit there and watch monitors all day..."The Protagonist (Male Voice 3): "So all we gotta do is get you to the monitoring station?"The Protagonist (Female Voice 1): "So we tap the cameras and we're golden, right?"The Protagonist (Female Voice 2): "We can talk about fashion later, you sure tapping the cameras is all we need to do?"The Protagonist (Female Voice 3): "Just let me make sure I get the plan. We hack into the traffic cameras and we find The General?"

Shaundi: "Just tapping into the cameras isn't enough, that's why Pierce is jacking some electronics so we can set up surveilence at the hideout."

— On the way to the police headquarters.

Before we go in the station remember to put your piece away, most repairmen don't wave around guns..

— Shaundi, upon arriving at the police headquarters.

Receptionist: "Welcome to the Stilwater Police Department, how may I help you?"

The Protagonist: "Alright people, here's the deal. We got a truck full of electronic shit that I don't know how to use...I want you guys to help unload the truck and set up shop here. Once we're up and running I want someone watching these monitors 24-7; the moment someone sees that fucking limo I wanna know about it...let's get to work."

The Protagonist turns to Shaundi

The Protagonist: "This is going to work right?"Shaundi: "Probably."The Protagonist: "You had me break into a police station for something that would probably work?"Shaundi: "Well, ya know, I thought it would be good times."The Protagonist: "Thanks Shaundi."Shaundi: "Any time."
